This time I will have to make a big effort to think about my study programme since I left university several years ago and in time you end up remembering just the positive things specially when you consider that the decision made was the correct one.

Nevertheless, taking into account the curriculum that I had back then I remember it didn't prepare the future teachers to face disruptive students and even less to deal with a disruptive and crowded classroom environment, which sadly is the reality of many schools and makes the task of teaching a real challenge.

All methods, approaches and learning strategies were exemplified thinking of an ideal student in the perfect learning atmosphere, too unrealistic!!! At least for our country :( 


In those years were possible to teach a subject at schools without having the degree via a special permit granted by Ministry of Education but only under the condition of being studying the corresponding major, so there were a few classmates of mine who were already working teaching at schools and they talked to the rest of us, even in front of our university teachers, to make us be aware of the educational reality and its many flaws.


I am completely unaware if the curriculum for pedagogies has been changed or modified but without any doubts subjects which provide the future colleagues the necessary tools to face the current educational system in depth and in truth should be mandatory (my opinion)

Regarding the length of the programme, I know a lot more now than when I just graduated, so you should never stop learning, always keep yourself curious; this is how I see it.

Concerning the faculty facilities and use of technology, I studied at a good big private university so there were no issues about that ;-P

  2. I think it is super important that any career about education should prepare their students to face the classroom and understand the needs of the diverse students in it.

  6. Teacher, in our case a little time ago the curriculum was changed. In this university many careers was changed the programme study. It's a great opportunity. In your case, in Chile the pedagogy is changing and now the curriculum is better than 10 years ago. Patience and hope! :)
